Question 4.
How did the children’s presence and behaviour during the crisis affect the narrator?
Answers
Answer 4:
The children on board were fully aware of the crisis looming over their boat and yet did not panic or express their anxiety, which strengthened the narrator’s resolve to save the ship. His determination to fight against all odds was further strengthened when his son proclaimed that they did not mind dying, but only wished to die together. This encouraging bravery sharpened the narrator’s innovative streak as he worked meticulously at calculating wind speeds, changes of course, drift and current, to reach their destination. When Sue had handed the narrator a ‘Thank-you’ card, the touching gesture dispelled negativity and boosted his determination. Even when he turned skeptical of his calculations about reaching the island, the children still had implicit faith in him and believed he had guided them to the safety of the island.
